Shalom shabbat i for one believe using child-faced up pitched cartoon characters that make baby noises and wear fetish gear to entertain grown men is actually the utopia we were promised
Parading around as a young looking child avatar to hide your face. Then you have the other side of this spectrum where the girl in question is ugly so she makes her vtuber avatar an AraAra mommy with ginormous milkers and ups the jiggle physics to 10,000%. Both are cringe as fuck.
Eh, surely it'll be like most graduations where she'll take an extended break, and then come back under a new persona similar to what Fauna is doing. So sure, the specific character will be gone but the person behind the character will still stream and make content. And plus, since they won't be under the thumb of a controlling agency they'll be more free to do what they actually want
I'm curious about why so many vtubers have chronic health issues. It's become a common theme for vtubers to either take a long hiatus or have abrupt schedules because of health issues. I'm honestly concerned.
People with chronic illnesses are more likely to be inside a lot. People who are inside a lot will be more on the internet. And people who are more on the internet are more likely to stream, and then to apply to vtuber agencies
Theres a reason alot of these girls didnt become popular till they could use an avatar like they do. Ironmouse, for instance, has to be hooked up to machines daily to survive.
"The reasons being internal misalignments with the company and chronic health issues affecting my ability to use my voice over the last two years."
First part of her reasons is equally important no?
She spent the entire announcement talking about the second reason, I'd just take the first reason as a boiler plate line unless you're really keen that Cover is a black company
You really think someone would go into details? That’s not how the world works, besides what else is there to say currently? Look at other graduation announcements, no one goes into details.
Mumei's roommate was not much of a streamer in the first place. She was an artist. She still *is* an artist and she's still fairly active on that account. She had a vtuber model, but she used it extremely rarely. This is going to be more like when Sana graduated - we won't have anyone to watch anymore. She's just going back to being an artist.
That's the real reason why people are devastated. It's more final.
she has been having chronic cough problems for about 2 years now, it got to her where she can't do singing performances anymore, and of course the stress for it
lol with all the bad points I got on that comment I guess they are actually trans? I just meant that it’s a dude hiding behind a graphic making themself sound like a girl
yeah coz you stereotype vtubers as to what your perception of them is, like you live in a cave without even conducting research and just say your opinion without evidence coz you see some random post about a vtuber faking identity somewhere once
It’s not even that big a deal because she’ll be back as an independent streamer here in like two weeks, but the vtuber crowd are a bunch of mentally ill weirdos. Some get too attached to a persona and can’t move on to the new one.
She’s quitting because of permanent vocal cord damage, not just company issues, so it ain’t that simple, but you’d be right for about 90% of vtubers in general.
In vtubing graduating is slang for leaving, either being fired or stepping down. Some of them come back with a new avatar or return to an old one, but they can also just be gone. Since a vtubers anonymity is protected by their avatar it's very different for them to graduate rather than a regular influencer retiring or fading away.
It's a holdover from older stuff. Before modern vtubing there was a thing where corpos would hire voice actors to motion cap and play characters in alot of idol type stuff. The corpos would use the term graduating when announcing they were retiring a character or idol because it sounded nicer than saying fired. Instead of saying you fired Hatsune Miku for drug abuse you'd announce that she's graduating which is why won't be seeing her at anymore concerts.
It's still used because it sounds nicer even though everyone knows what it means. But also in part because it applies more to the persona than the person behind it. The person playing the character may not be retiring or going away but the character is and won't be appearing anymore. You can't really say you're firing the character because the actor left.
Do we know it's always the same person behind the mask? Has anyone been caught substituting, or do any use voice changers? What if Hatsune Miku is actually three Indians?
Its happened before with some of the shittier companies that one of the talents gets fired and they have someone elese use their avatar. It's called skinwalking in the vtubing scene and is universally hated and always noticed. You can pretend to be a someone else all you want but good luck matching the voice and mannerisms for a multi hour live stream without breaking character.
Voice changers are alot less prevalent than the memes suggest, again Vtubing is mostly about live streaming so kinda hard to keep it unoticed for hours at a time over the course of months. One voice crack or technical issue and the cats out of the bag.
Honestly the whole "its always a dude pretending to be a woman" meme falls apart when you realize two things: there's a fuck ton of vtubers compared to the handful of guys who can do a passing voice that naturally, and it simply makes sense for women who want to live stream to hide their faces and identities, especially if theyre weebs and anime freaks.
As far as I'm aware, the number of times that substituting has happened could be counted on one hand, assuming it's even happened at all. Certain corpos have had employees puppet a talent's account before, but that's not what you mean, I assume.
"Graduating" meaning "moving on to better grander things after finishing their growth" sounds "better" than "retiring" meaning "giving up or stopping because of growing too old or other outside circumstances" one is uplifting and positive the other has more negative connotations and considering the reaction of fans, I think the poor SOBS really do need that more "uplifting" outlook.
Are there actually any vtubers out there that have an unknown previous channel? As far as I’m aware pretty much everyone’s old channels are known, especially once they quit since obviously they become active all of a sudden.
Most of the popular corpo vtubers have past lives that get connected to them, especially the newer ones who are recruited from the indie scene into big corporations. But alot of the smaller ones just don't get the attention to get people digging or had so little online before going into it. Hell alot of the earlier corpo vtubers were recruited without any prior vtubers experience, like pretty much all of phase connects gen 1.
And that's without getting into the indie vtubers, most of whom are sub 50 viewer streamers who never did anything before that.
I read the whole thing (why) and I thought this was about an anime character leaving a show until I came to the comments. If you don’t know who this person is the post doesn’t really make any sense.
Holilive kept on losing, first we got, Fauna graduate, Sakamata, , shion graduation, shiori homocolab and then this.
Holokeks, Holocucks, Unicorns getting btfod, schizos aint taking their meds, /VT/ seething? the nijikeks aren't winning either, hows the phasecucks, are they winning?
Gura still streaming in my head.
man i almost forgot about chubbas and vt, had to do my reps about their past graduations, drama's and shit.
you mfs are so pornbrained that you think calling people tourists for thinking you're pedophiles for jerking off to hentai specifically tailored for those who get off to the concept of sex with children is somehow a "gotcha"
this is why I lost interest in hololive. Too many people graduate. I also thought if I stopped liking it I'd get a girlfriend. And my attention span is cooked.
